David Ornstein makes bold Marcus Rashford transfer prediction as he details what will happen this month

Transfer expert David Ornstein has dropped a huge update about Marcus Rashford's future amid rumours he could leave Manchester United this month.

Last month, Rashford's future at United were cast in doubt after he revealed he wanted to take on a new challenge in an interview with respected journalist Henry Winter.

Since then, several of the biggest clubs in Europe have reportedly shown interest in the English winger, including La Liga giants Barcelona and Serie A greats AC Milan.

And now, transfer guru Ornstein have provided a major update on Rashford's future and offered his prediction for what he thinks will happen.

While speaking on The Athletic’s transfer podcast, Ornstein revealed that, although he has already rejected three contract offers from clubs in the Saudi Pro League, he still expects Rashford to leave United in January.

“There were and will be multiple other meetings as they explore various avenues,” said Ornstein.

“The conditions of a deal, would you involve an option to buy or an obligation to buy? Would Manchester United be open to that? Would Rashford like to?

“There are suggestions he’s turned down three offers from the Saudi Pro League, but the Saudi Pro League pushed back on that and said there were no offers.

“If you were to ask me ‘do I expect Marcus Rashford to depart Manchester United in this January transfer window?’ – clip this up, take the mick out of me, a custard pie moment – yes I do.”

After spending nearly two decades with United, it would appear that Rashford has fallen out of favour with new manager Ruben Amorim, who has remained coy about his plans for Rashford.

The 27-year-old has not featured in United’s last six matches, and has not been named in the matchday squad for the thrilling FA Cup third round clash against Arsenal on Sunday afternoon.

Should Rashford leave United in January, the Premier League club will reportedly expect a transfer fee of around £40million, but they are also prepared to negotiate either a loan or loan with an option or obligation to buy in the summer transfer window.
